Here's my #day22 prompt inspired poem based on the Tamil proverb- அகோர தபசி விபரீத சோரன் (Akōra tapaci viparīta cōraṉ) that translates as "All saint without, all devil within."
A bottomless pit
of a question
hunting
and haunting
in cold whispers
Are you a Saint
or a Sinner?
In the darkness
I throw back,
Who’s asking?
All righteousness
is the image
to be seen,
to be heard
My vanity laughs
wicked,
Know yourself dear
pretender
Voices in the other
ear
You’re me, I’m you
And
that’s the truth.
Is it? Ask.
Doubt, a consolation
Or land of make-believe
that you’re better
than you are.
